I predict 2/2 here.. I don't know how we can do better with their pitching. Its looking very good so far and our only good pitcher is Richmond. Most of their wins are against Indians and White Sox though , so who knows how good/average they are.

Charger needs to predict something like a sweep. We're guaranteed 3 games if he does that :P

I also have Grienke on my fantasy team, but I'll be happy if the Jays destroy him even if it hurts my team. I'm talking 20 ER in 0.1 IP kind of destruction. The only out by Lyle of course haha.

Anyways, let's hope for 7 straight series wins to start the season.

even if we go 2-2, we can still claim that we haven't lost a series yet

Any split on the road in a 4 game series is basically a success.

I'd be happy with a split. Its too bad Tallet has to go up against Greinke, since he's been pitching well enough to get us a win in any other game in the series (although Meche would be tough).

I actually have confidence in Tallet and Richmond, judging by each of their last two outings.

You have to give some massive credit to our starters. I mean Tallet and Richmond were not considered to be solid starter at the beginning of the season I mean Tallet has never really been a starter...but they are really getting people out and pitching really well. Purcey needs to be a little more consistent but he has also shown flashes of brilliance.

These guys are holding the fort down until we get Litsch and Romero back...then our rotation suddenly looks pretty solid...and that isn't even including Marcum or McGowan.

A lot of credit to Arnsberg and the staff because they are pitching really well. I mean Downs and Frasor are as automatic as they come right now as well.
